mankell.gifI mentioned the find in a nearby library feature in Santa Monica Public Library below, where OpenWorldCat is used to find a book in libraries within a several mile radius.
This has now been extended throughout the catalog: there is a new link on every record that has a localized OWC search called ‘Check Nearby Libraries’.
Migell Acosta, Principal Librarian – Information Management, has also created a screencast explaining the feature to library staff.
Check out the entry for Henning Mankell’s One Step Behind.

Library leaders should be drawn from across the organization. Any idea that technology leaders are overly specialised or too distant from general library work is outmoded and counter-productive.
